“We are excited about being associated with Afghanistan Cricket for the first time and Amul is hopeful that this team, rated as the fastest growing team in international cricket, will deliver outstanding performance in the World Cup,” GCMMF Managing Director RS Sodhi said according to Khaleej Times.

Afghanistan recently shocked the cricketing world by dumping their regular captain Asghar Afghan and naming Gulbadin Naib as the ODI captain, who will lead the team in World Cup as well. Rahmat Shah was named the Test captain and Rashid Khan named the T20I captain. Chief selector Dawlat Ahmadzai also backed Naib to do well in Afghanistan’s first World Cup as full ICC member.

Afghanistan is scheduled to play two warm-up matches against Pakistan and England on May 24 and 27 respectively before starting their World Cup campaign against Australia on June 1.
